Resident Evil 5 PS3 exclusivity chatter resurfaces again

Rumours that Resident Evil 5 will be a PS3 exclusive have resurfaced once more, with reports in the Japanese games media alleging that that the 360 version of Capcom survival horror epic has been dropped.

However, Capcom has itself refuted the allegations, saying the reports were erroneous and that the title will, as announced, be released on the PS3 and 360.

This isn't the first (nor will it be the last) time we've seen this sort of speculation, but could it actually happen?

They've already said they will be doing multiplats from now on. That's why DMC4 is on 360 now.

FreeMonk6920d ago

Capcom will be shooting themselves in the foot if they release RE5 exclusivly on the PS3.

They have sold millions of copies of Lost Planet and Dead Rising on the X360, and they've done well in Japan as well.

I can see Dead Rising and Lost Planet coming to the PS3 soon though soon!

PS360WII6920d ago

RE5 is about as exclusive as RE4 was for the GC

MADGameR6920d ago

Resident Evil 5 was a PS3 and 360 exclusive to begin with! This news is way too old. There is no point in reading this. The first RE5 trailer that came out said PS3 and 360. So this article is pointless.

omansteveo6920d ago

Yeah just like Res 4 was excusive to Gamecube. If Capcom did this its like throwing money away. They already have 2 platinum sellers on 360 in Lost Planet and Dead Rising which were'nt pre-existing franchises. This may be crossing they're minds now but it will change once they see how much the 360 version of DMC4 outsells the PS3 one like crazy and this thought will soon be a distant memory.

P.S. People can flame and disagree with me all they want the facts are the facts

rosko4866920d ago

So it's a fact that the 360 version of DMC4 will outsell the PS3 version huh?

MADGameR6920d ago

Resident Evil 5 is staying Multi platform. DMC4 360 version outselling the PS3 version? I would'nt go and say that. You don't really know for sure. Because only a FEW went to the 360 side.I don't think the 360 fanbase has grown much.. Because they STILL have to beat the X Box's 30Million sold world wide. The PS3 has JUST came out and 8 months old already WITH a very high price, not much good games. Even though I am not SIDING with any of the companies, I say SONY will win this war.

bootsielon6920d ago (Edited 6920d ago )

Just as Silent Hill 5 could end up being exclusive if PS3 sells more than enough, RE5 too. I have both consoles, but I don't want Xbots to enjoy this one, just for spite.

Edit:

Sturmfuhrer, if I'm a fantard, the only logic conclusion is that you a are a fanmoron. Anyway, I have both consoles, so I can't possibly be a Sony fanboy. I'm more like an Anti-annoying-xbots (not Anti-Xbox). Scram, Xbot.

PS360WII6920d ago

I couldn't help but laugh at that spite comment

Xi6920d ago

I think the ps3 is the bigger flop, it's selling worse than the gamecube after 2 years. The 360 never really had a chance, but least their games are selling.

Bloodmask6920d ago

It actually made me laugh out loud (+) bubbles for you

So the most successful RE is the one where a white man is killing Africans.
This can't be real.

Capcom's willingness to invest in experiments and scrap them sets them apart form many other developers (Nintendo have a similar methodology). Far too often companies push a game setting or game mechanic that is just not that good and the final product is middling or poor.

I mean 0, 1 and Code Veronica should be way before we get into 5 or 6.

Darkseeker112d ago

5 and 6 are so bad that even Capcom want to pretend they don't exist.

Levii_92112d ago

Dude Code Veronica is bad too but RE5 and 6 were mega successful and to me it makes much more sense for Capcom to do them instead. Nobody cares about Code Veronica except niche fixed camera era RE fans, i bet most modern RE fans probably don't know Code Veronica even exists. Based on all that i don't believe CV remake is coming but we will see i guess.

MehmetAlperTR112d ago (Edited 112d ago )

Actually RE5-6 was not Classic RE game.. They are not even Survival Horror game.. They are just an action game with coop and named by RE... And for me RE Code Veronica was masterpiece.. I remembered the first time i played it in Dreamcast.. It was absouletly excellent game. And specially for RE6.. I was quit from game after the camera shakes when Leon's kick to zombies.. There's a video about RE6 and they are telling the truth about that shitty game https://www.youtube.com/wat... here it is.. Enjoy it..

Neonridr112d ago

people are DYING for a Code Veronica Remake. Not sure who you are talking to, but the die-hard RE fans of the series are very familiar with every entry. That's what it means to be called a die-hard fan.

neutralgamer1992112d ago

Levii

I am sure If they were to remake CV that it 2ont have fixed camera angle. I hope whatever they do they take their time like RE2/4 remakes and not rushed with cut content like RE3 remake

Before they should do RE5 they should go back and remake earlier games. In a perfect scenario we would get CV and RE/Zero before RE5/6

Tapani112d ago

Code Veronica on Dreamcast was absolutely AWESOME.

It makes more sense for them to remake earlier games like Code Veronica. RE5 is a good game though - it's not THAT different from RE4.

RE5 just doesn't really need to remade in general. The co-op element makes it tricky - you'd probably add more moments where Chris is by himself enhance the horror but some would want co-op to stay.

thesoftware730112d ago

RE:5 Was and still is a great game, with hands down the best Merc mode, that I still play from time to time with my brother.

RE:6 blah, I agree, it was awful.

Redgrave112d ago

Other than Code Veronica, 6 is the one ai want to see remade the most only because pretty much everything has to be redone; can't streamline that hot mess.

DarXyde112d ago

6 was pretty bad. 5 just tried too hard in being an action-oriented RE4.

In some fairness to Capcom, 5 was the first Resident Evil on then-new hardware for them (X360 and PS3). And it was pretty damn hard to follow up RE4.

Imagine everyone's surprise when EA of all companies dropped Dead Space.

Alos88111d ago

The first half of 5 wouldn't be too hard to do in the more grounded style the remakes have gone for, but the second half gets pretty silly and uncomfortable at parts.
6 is a wash. You'd have to basically make a whole new game to salvage that one at this point.

__y2jb111d ago

6 is garbage. 5 is excellent.

Hopefully if and when they do a RE5 remake, they give it the RE3 remake treatment, because this is certainly one title that I don't want a faithful remake of.

gerbintosh112d ago

I need a Parasite Eve remake
